Two of the 3 CN SD40s recently leased by the Roberval & Saguenay railway leads the eastbound Arvida - Port-Alfred run at the railway crossing of Route 170 on a sunday morning. That day would prove to be disapointing for trains, as no trains would run later in the afternoon. Although it was sure nice to see some CN owned SD40s, having not seen one since 2013.

    Nice pic !!! There are lots of days like that. The better the weather, the fewer the trains. Or so it seems.
